Angelina Jolie just dropped a major plot twist—and it’s in her hair. Known for her usual smooth, sleek mane that probably has its own SAG card, the 49-year-old superstar strutted into the 2024 AFI Fest on October 26 rocking a full-on curly explosion. And let me tell you, those curls were serving more drama than a daytime soap opera finale.
Our girl Angelina floated down the red carpet outside the iconic TCL Chinese Theatre in Hollywood like an ethereal champagne dream. Dressed in a silky, champagne-colored gown that whispered “Don’t spill anything on me,” she accessorized with a dark brown shawl that said, “I’m sophisticated, but I still get chilly.” Oh, and the red lip? Flawless. The matching nails? A chef’s kiss. Honestly, she’s one fierce manicure away from becoming a Marvel villain named “The Crimson Cuticle.”
But the real star of the night? That hair. Curls for days! Waves for weeks! It’s like Angelina told her stylist, “Give me something bold—like, ‘Oscars 2025, we need a separate award just for this hair’ kind of bold.” Mission accomplished.
At the premiere, Angelina was spotted posing with Pablo Larraín, the film’s director, and they looked like the artsy duo you’d find sipping espresso in a Parisian café discussing the existential implications of eyeliner. You just know they’re deep.
So, what’s the buzz about ‘Maria’? Angelina steps into the role of Maria Callas, the iconic opera singer and queen of high notes and high drama. This isn’t just some ‘la-di-da movie’; it’s about Callas’ final chapter—a diva reflecting on life, identity, and that time she probably told Pavarotti, “Not today, Luciano.” Oscar whispers are already swirling around like confetti at New Year’s, and judging by the trailer, we are NOT ready for the emotional hurricane Angelina is about to unleash.
Mark your calendars! ‘Maria’ hits select theaters on November 27, just in time to make your relatives at Thanksgiving ask, “What even is an opera?” And for those of us who prefer binge-watching on the couch with a snack buffet, the film will land on Netflix on December 11—because sometimes the best way to experience high culture is in pajamas.
Angelina’s curls have entered the chat, the Oscar buzz is deafening, and you better prepare to feel emotions you didn’t even know you had.
